Treacherous Love

Take care

I must have fallen asleep because the next thing I knew Maurice was at my side. His voice was trembling and he was lightly shaking me. "Baby what happened? are you all right? are you hurting?" I open my mouth but nothing would come out except loud sobs. "Baby please?.... what happened?..... I'm taking you to the hospital." he said and gently begin to rub my belly I shook my head no violently. "Well what the f*** Rai?" he stood up and looked around the closet and I could tell he was afraid and Confused. I couldn't do anything except cry, my head hurts so badly but I was heartbroken. It felt like someone had just beat me in the chest with a metal bat. I close my eyes to try to regain my composure and felt him wrap my naked body in something warm. He pulled me to my feet, picked me up, carried me to the bed, pulled the covers back and lay them over me as well. "Your skin is cold as ice Rai, how long were you there? what happened in that closet? what's wrong? tell me!" He knelt down beside the bed so that we were eye to eye as he pleaded for me to talk. I didn't even notice that my body was trembling until I reached out my hand to grab his phone off the case ( secure to his belt buckle). I think it was like a reflex to automatically try to push my hand away but I gripped it. Leaneing back he unbuckled the phone and handed it to me after unlocking it. I scroll through the call log to Mrs. Chambers and showed him the screen. "I don't understand, and I've had a hell of a day, so please help me out here." He looked weary and sounded tired. "I heard...." My voice broke off as a new wave of tears started to fall. His eyebrows bunched together and he grabbed the phone from me and looked closer at what I was trying to show him. Maurice huffed and ran his hand over his face. "Baby....you gotta let me explain." He reached for my cheek and I turned my head into the pillow, I didn't know how to feel, I didn't know what to say, I just wished that I had woken up off the floor and it had all been a dream. His guilty ass face told it all. I didn't even have to say s*** and he knew what I was talking about already, which tells me he was with her knowing what time it was and just didn't give a f***. How many times has he been with her when I wanted or needed him with me? so many questions flooded my brain and my head was literally pounding. I tried to get up but my feet and legs were Tangled in the covers so I yanked them off of me and sat straight up on the side of the bed. Maurice was sitting at the foot of the bed just watching me, his stare was unreadable to me. Realizing that it was his robe that he covered me with in the closet I pulled it on and stood slowly. I had to pass him and I hesitated a bit before doing so, he reached out to me and I sidestepped to avoid contact. Quickly walking into the bathroom I lock the door behind me and took an ibuprofen out the cabinet and use the water from the sink I swallowed four 200 mg tablets. I had a splitting headache plus I was exhausted from the long day and the crazy s*** that unfolded tonight. I grabbed my cell phone that was still on the bathroom counter and called Carrie, her voicemail picked up so I left a message telling her that I wouldn't be in and I apologize for leaving such a short notice. It was going on 3 a.m. and someone had to open up the pharmacy at 7 which means she would probably end up calling the agency because the alternate pharmacist was out of town. While I was putting on my favorite maternity jeans I heard Maurice knocking on the bathroom door. I just ignored it and picked out a simple pink T-shirt that read "baby on board... what's your excuse?" in white letters. Before I could get the pink and white Nikes out the box I heard the door slam against the wall and knew he would be in my face. "It's 3 in the morning where do you think you're going." I would normally respond with a smart-ass remark but I wasn't feeling well at all." I don't know." When I looked into his eyes we just stared at each other for what seemed like a lifetime. "You know there's glass all over and the carpet is wet." he seemed to say without any emotion. I took in the mess I had made earlier and I sat down on the stool after making sure there was no glass there and put my sneakers on. I didn't know what to do when he knelt down in front of me and tied my shoelaces for me in my head. I'm thinking, what part of the f****** game is this? instead I said out loud "You don't have to do that." without looking up at me he finished tying my shoes and palmed both sides of my stomach "Daddy loves you" he whispered and kiss my belly. Wiping tears from my cheeks I gently pushed at him to move. "Excuse me" standing up he moved to the side to allow me to pass him. When I got to the bedroom door my purse wasn't on the hook. Damn! I scratch my head and try to remember were the hell I had put it. Then it dawned on me Maurice was way too calm for me to be leaving like this. I mean I didn't expect him to be throwing himself at my feet, but I know there's no way he wouldn't at least try to object to me walking out the door. I turned to him as he was comfortably sitting in his recliner "What the f*** did you do with my purse Maurice?" he raise one eyebrow and glared at me "You want to rephrase that question?" I crossed my arms and stumped my foot " Maurice I'm not playing give me my purse" I said sternly. Without moving he said "Come on Rai you and I both know that you don't want to be out in the streets this early in the morning, you not even feeling well, you're acting childish right now." He seems really calm and confident, before I went into the bathroom he didn't seem so sure of himself. " You must not know who you're dealing with because I will walk right out now. Shit... how angry I am at you." he took a deep breath "I get that" Stamping my feet again and shaking my head I yelled "I don't even want to see you or be near you right now." He stood up and started walking towards me and. "I can understand that as well" he said nodding his head as if he was agreeing with me "Listen to me, you are not in the predicament to be walking anywhere." This m*********** actually was trying to grab my hands. I put them down to my side and balled my fists. He gave me this look like "try me" and I quickly spand my fingers and took a step back. I never meant for him to take it that way, I just didn't want him grabbing my hands right now. I begin to ease my way further into the hallway "Just because I'm pregnant that doesn't mean anything, I run on a regular basis, I'm in perfect health." He grabbed my shoulders and I began to shrug them trying to get him to let me go. "You called off work, you never call off, you must be feeling like crap. Your eyes are bloodshot red,and you look tired as hell." I tried jerking out of his grasp but he wasn't loosening his grip "Please just don't touch me right now!" his eyes got big and he tightened his lips. "What do you care how tired I am? Go make sure Ann is resting, your other baby mother.!" As soon as the words came out of my mouth I regret saying them. He dropped his head but didn't let go of me. "Look baby, just come in here so you can get some rest, I won't even sleep with you. Ill stay in the guest room if you want." He finally took one hand off to gesture towards the guest room down the hall. " I don't want to talk to you.... I'm so f****** tired" my voice cracked. I allowed him to guide me to the bed but when he attempted to help me get undressed I stiffened up and held out my hands which he pushed aside and kept going as if I never protested. I flop down on the bed with just my bra and panties on and held my head with both hands I felt him moving my hands and he put a large shirt on me. Without further argument I got under the covers and close my eyes. I could tell when he turned the lights out, and I half expected him to get in the bed but he didn't. I fell asleep rubbing a knot out of my stomach.
